Here are some of the great tools and resources you'll get only in the Masters Plan

- Permission-Based Asking Model Workbook and Practice Report: Everything you've needed to have more meaningful and engaging conversations with your donors is right at your fingertips. This workbook and practice report will guide you through using this model in any kind of donor conversation.
Here are some of the trainings available only in the Masters Plan
Making Effective Donor Asks
Transform how you connect with donors by using permission-based asking. It’s easy to get off track in a donor conversation if the donor doesn’t feel heard, you feel like you need to “fit everything in,” or you aren’t aligned with the donor’s interests. By using permission based asking, you’ll stay tuned in to the donor, respect where they are in the process, and have more meaningful interactions with your donors. The Permission-Based Asking ™ model gives you the tools you need to make asking for a gift a natural progression of your partnership with your donor.

“The Asking course opened a completely new set of horizons for me in understanding how best to work with donors...
...to enhance and enrich the relationship with a donor. I’ve fully come to embrace the Permission-Based Asking model – I haven’t mastered it yet, but it has made such a huge difference in the way that I approach every donor conversation or meeting.”
– Robb Resler, Regional Philanthropy Officer, American Red Cross
The Economics of the Major Gifts Pipeline
Understanding how to effectively manage your fundraising program is one of the most critical aspects of being a successful non-profit leader. But many leaders are never trained or given tools to properly manage the economic side of the fundraising programs. In this training, you’ll receive all the resources and strategies you’ve been looking for to gain a firm grasp of the economics of major gifts and create a healthy financial foundation for your organization.

“I took the Economics course because I want to be prepared to manage a team of MGOs in the near future.
I’m glad I took it! The quantitative analysis that Richard and Jeff demonstrated in detail helped me to increase my own effectiveness as a fundraiser and as a leader and mentor on a team of MGOs. Their insightful, qualitative evaluation of the management approach and decision-making process increased my potential to one day manage a major gifts program at any level. I learned a lot from this course, and I think it will prove to be an excellent investment in my career.”
– Alex Unger, Senior Major Gifts Officer, University of Pennsylvania
The Planned Giving Principles for Every Fundraiser’s Success
When you hear “planned giving,” do you tune out? Planned giving has a reputation for being scary, hard, and something that no one other than the Planned Giving Officer needs to know about. The reality is that in order to truly build authentic partnerships with your donor, you need to have an understanding of planned giving and have a culture of collaboration between departments.

How to Start a Mid-Level Program
Without the proper set-up, your mid-level program will likely struggle as you on-ramp the program. Developing a mid-level program requires clear and strategic planning and coordination with key departments within your organization. While this takes work and time, it will be well-worth it once your program is up and running.
Included in the Veritus Pro Plan
How to Start a Major Gifts Program
Coming Soon: Spring/Summer 2022
Major gifts is one of the most significant ways you can drive increased net revenue to support your organization’s programs. But without a disciplined system and structure, your major gifts program will fail to be effective. It’s critical to develop buy-in and set clear expectations for what a major gifts program can achieve, how to ramp a program up, and establish the role of a Major Gifts Officer. While this takes work and time, it will be well-worth it once your program is up and running.
Included in the Veritus Pro Plan
Creating Meaningful Connections with Your Donors
